Following tinies' blog about DNR notices, thought I'd mention that I've made a Living Will. You can give a copy to your relatives, gp, and the hospital and it enables you to appoint a proxy to make decisions on your behalf when you are no longer able.
Age UK has a very useful factsheet on the subject ageuk.org.uk/money-matters/...
It is best to get proper legal advice but if you don't wish to use a solicitor you can download a template from some websites eg compactlaw.co.uk/free-legal...
Two important points: (a) You and your proxy must sign the will in the presence of two witnesses, who must both then sign it and print their name, address and occupation.
